The Product Boss with Jacqueline Snyder 284. Why We Spent 100k on the Small Business Shopping Directory and Shop 1 in 5 Pledge
Last year, consumers’ values and shopping habits transformed drastically. As brick-and-mortar establishments were put on pause and the world went online, we reached out to our community, evaluating their needs during these unprecedented times. Our mission was to find a solution that made a real difference to small businesses.
The seed for the Small Business Shopping Directory and Shop 1 in 5 Pledge was born – and it took shape fast! Within 48 hours, we had 600 subscribers and excellent press coverage, which gave us the confidence (and the rankings) to invest $100,000, elevating the Small Business Shopping Directory and consumer experience to the highest of standards, boosting member benefits – not to mention their bottom lines – in the process.
In this episode, we reflect on our journey, from premise to promotion, and how we brought our most significant professional projects (yet) to life!
Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge! Commit to making 1 in 5 of your purchases from a small business, whether online or offline. The Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge is a way to make an impact together when (and where) it matters most. Join us and take the pledge today!
